hydrophis belcheri

Introduction

Hydrophis belcheri, also known as Chitulia belcheri, is a rare sea snake species. Recent research has provided new insights into its distribution, taxonomy, and species composition within its genus.

Key Insights

First Reliable Record in Australian Waters: The first reliable record of Chitulia belcheri in Australian waters, specifically the Arafura Sea, has been documented. This finding expands the known range of this rare species.
Taxonomic Status and Species Composition: The taxonomic status of Chitulia belcheri within the genus group Hydrophis sensu lato, which includes Leisoelasma, Chitulia, Polyodontognathus, and Hydrophis sensu stricto, has been discussed. A revised key to the species of the genus Chitulia has been provided, aiding in the accurate identification and classification of these sea snakes.

Conclusion

Recent research has confirmed the presence of Chitulia belcheri in Australian waters, expanding its known habitat range. Additionally, the taxonomic status and species composition within its genus have been clarified, providing a more comprehensive understanding of this rare sea snake species.

On first reliable record of the sea snake Chitulia belcheri (Gray, 1849) from Australian waters, with notes on species composition and taxonomic status of the genus Chitulia (Serpentes, Hydrophiidae)

Chitulia belcheri is the first reliable record of this rare sea snake in Australian waters, and its taxonomic status within the genus Hydrophis is discussed.

Hydrophilins in the filamentous fungus Neosartorya fischeri (Aspergillus fischeri) have protective activity against several types of microbial water stress.

Hydrophilins in Neosartorya fischeri ascospores protect against microbial water stress, including salt, osmotic, and dry heat stress, potentially playing a role in their stress-resistant properties.

A new species of Phaenostoma d'Orchymont, 1937 (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) from Brazil.

Phaenostoma tupiniquim sp. nov. is a new species of hydrophilid beetle from Brazil, found in the Caatinga biome in Ceará State and likely in Mato Grosso and Pará States.

Highly Hydrophilic Proteins in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Are Common during Conditions of Water Deficit*

Hydrophilins, a group of proteins with high glycine content and hydrophilicity index, are common in prokaryotes and eukaryotes during water deficit conditions and serve as analogous adaptations to common problems in diverse taxons.

Insect Fauna of the Late Miocene Locality of Öhningen (Germany) Less Diverse Than Reported: An Example of the Hydrophilid Beetles (Coleoptera)

The diversity of hydrophilid beetles in the Late Miocene locality of hningen is lower than previously reported, but slightly higher than other European Paleogene and Neogene localities.

Multilocus phylogeny and recent rapid radiation of the viviparous sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae).

The core Hydrophis group is a young and rapidly speciating clade, with most extant lineages diversified over the last 1.5-3 million years.

A NOTE ON SOME HYDROPHILIDÆ

Hydrophilus contains two series of species, large and relatively small, with distinct maxillary palpi forms and should be considered distinct genera.

On the identity of the fossil aquatic beetles from the Tertiary localities in the southern part of the Upper Rhine Graben (Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Dytiscidae)

The fossil aquatic beetles from Brunstatt and Kleinkems are now placed into Polyphaga incertae sedis, with Escheria convexa being transferred to Copelatus and three other species being removed from the Hydrophiloidea record.

Population genetics of hydrophilous angiosperms

Hydrophilous angiosperms show lower population genetic variation and greater partitioning of variation among populations than non-hydrophiles, with sexuality, extensive clonal spread, and freshwater isolation contributing to these patterns.

A long-living species of the hydrophiloid beetles: Helophorus sibiricus from the early Miocene deposits of Kartashevo (Siberia, Russia)

The fossil of Helophorus sibiricus, a recent hydrophiloid beetle, is the oldest record of a recent species in the Hydrophiloidea, and provides insights into the paleodistribution and recent distribution of this species.
